Soul Sparks Dating Mixer

Finding genuine connection can be challenging — especially when traditional dating spaces don’t always feel built for neurodivergent minds. Soul Sparks is a welcoming, sensory-friendly dating and social event designed for autistic, ADHD, and otherwise neurodivergent adults who are looking to meet new people in an understanding, inclusive environment.

Commonwealth Autism and All Needs Planning are hosting a dating mixer event for neurodivergent adults ages 21-35 on Saturday December 6th. Registration leads you to the inquiry and screening process for the event!
